After sweeping the high jump at the Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Sashane Hanson and Zhafear Ray have also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field West Prelims May 25-27 at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

The duo set their qualifying marks at the Texas Invitational on April 14 in Austin. Hanson ranks 29th heading into the West Prelims, while Ray has the 31st best jump in the region this season.

Hanson is ranked 46th in the nation with a school record height of 1.78 meters (5 feet, 10 inches). The Jamaican notched five event wins, including the conference title in New Orleans last weekend. She successfully defended her conference championship on Sunday going a perfect 5-for-5 on jumps.

Ray outdueled the field to pick up his first Southland Conference medal in New Orleans. He won five meets this season. His fourth-place finish at the Texas Invitational at 2.12 meters (6-11) was the third-best mark in program history.
